How many people on here are Recent Grads?

[Keith7]

I graduated Spring 2009. I don't know if that counts.

Scary enough.. we are probably not close..

There some in the Fine Arts that keep getting degrees for years because it is impossible to find a job in their discipline. Therefore they keep going to school hoping to have one of their works become famous to get themselves into their chosen field. I know of one with 3 BS, 2 MFA and would not be shocked if there are some with many more

Couldn't they teach?

[oldguystudent]

BBA, MBA, or my eventual PhD..

Or my wife's BA, BS, MS, or PhD... What is the time frame for "recent"?

You're a mad man.

Some areas it is very hard to even find a teaching gig.. What hischool are you going to teach 15th century German literature or the history of Persian art in the 3 century BC..

It is what it is.

I was thinking college, not high school, especially with those advanced degrees.

Maybe the ones with an MFA, just because it is a terminal degree.. maybe...

The issue is that in many of these areas is that an MFA is only part of the criteria.. They need a seminal work, be it a piece of art or literature or a performance, to go along with that MFA to get an academic position. That is one of the risks in that arena. If you don't have something that differentiates you from any other personal applying you arent getting the gig. Academia is way more cut throat than people would believe.

MFA is a tough degree. I know a couple people back from my udergrad days that got that degree and never did anything with it. I'd put that in with getting a PhD in English. There is a market glut of PhDs out there and very few tenure track positions. It's horribly cutthroat.

On the other hand, I'm not adverse to getting a PhD in accounting later (much later) on. There is a shortage of PhDs in that field. Comparatively easy to get academic gigs there.

The deal is here! Call/Email today!

[Eddie Delgado]

I'll be in the chat all day today if you want to ask questions.

[Eddie Delgado]

Thoughts?

[THOR]

i like the deal and the location, especially for new grads that don't have families....they get to be back with the students where they cut their teeth!

[Stix]

This is the best way to deal with the CUSA mandate to not have students directly behind the visitor's bench - fill the first few rows with recent grads!

How many rows are the students being pushed back, anyway?

Bingo! (5)

[Ben Gooding]

I like it. I'll be getting a ticket soon.

[gksmith]

30 years ago isn't recent enough?

[Christopher Walker]

I was apprehensive that perhaps I missed on a deal since I secured my tickets a few days before you teased these, but I'm good now. I'm still getting a great bargain though for two S208 seats + parking pass for ~$300.

[Marty]

that's a great deal.

I know I'm being a dick, and yes I'm glad that we are actually marketing to new grads, but am I the only one that looked at this ad and at first glance giggled because it looked like they scratched out $100 so you can pay $100?

I thought it was funny.

They scratched out $160

[Dr. Seuss]

To me personally, I wouldn't do it. If I really wanted to save I would buy GA season tickets for $65, and sit in the Young Alumni Section. More alum's are wanting to sit on the home side, not the visitor side. Section 106 is where it's at!!
